Do you want to be the next volunteer mod? Say so here.

[Dat Guy]

Yeah I look forward to our new Internet Moderation Overlords.

Nice Simpsons reference!

Less moderation, more information. I like the sound of that a lot better. A lot of the "stuff" that has to be "moderated" around here only happens as a result of a bunch of people standing around waiting for information, never getting any useful information, and then having nothing to do or talk about because it's been generally accepted that everyone waiting for information is going to be waiting a long time. So idle conversation happens, evolves, and then people are paid to make it look like action was taken.

^^^^Exactly this!!

I think that was due to the fact it was placed in every section of the forums if I recall. We can have an official poll on all the final candidates if folks would like. We want mods that the community can approve of etc.

Hi Sirius, if we have had a ridiculously petty infraction or two, can we still apply?

[Dipstik]

I got banned once for "generally being a douche all the time" (I'm sure I'm allowed to say it because the mod put it right in my ban message!)

I think that makes me even MORE qualified, right?

As I read the CofC I don't see why not. I have a couple and I did (the lure of $250 in game cash was too much), but seriously, would not someone like Vile Lynn be the most sensible person for the position.?

I got an infraction for telling somebody NOT to be a douche. Go figure.

Well thank you! Yeah, I'll apply today. Might as well.
Nominate me here.

Keep in mind for the people applying, once you become monitor, your life here will change. You will have to separate yourself from the group, no longer exchange in gay banter, be in a position to punish former friends and syndicate members, etc.

I am not sure why any happy healthy poster here would want to put themselves in a position to eventually alienate themselves from their forum mates over $250 worth of gold that will be obsolete before the 6 month period is up.

It's kinda like trying to hang out with your wives friends after a divorce. It just gets weird.

[Winnson]

namedud nailed it right on the head - Less moderation, more information.

And how in the world is banning harmless fun a good idea on an internet message board?

Nothing but the facts! Oh, there are no facts available, but we allow nothing but the facts!

You may have a point, but somebody's gonna get that $250 (which I read as being in game cash, but if you're right and it's gold I may just withdraw/"edit" my nominations of others, as this could get ugly).

[TxTireMan]

I will also be running for the mod don't hold my recent bans against me lol

Edit: I'm back again!

[I Love Money]

So is there an official list of people that are running for the moderacy?

I won't be running, by the way.

Official as in how? Recent events sort of have you, moderator of the debates for moderator, playing 52 Pick-up.
However, as best I can recall: TMI, TxTireMan, MK Loves You, Vile Lynn, Red BD, Dipstik, someone or two whose names I can't spell or recall, Evan, and I assume TheJess.. Forgive me if I overlooked anyone.

Yes, it's a big field, but I sense there are 2 or 3 positions open.

Good luck

I'm just a bit confused. MK Loves You said he was joking and Evan won't even be considered because of his recent refund fraud. 1Shot's editing has made things confusing.

I remember there were 8 names on yesterday's debate but I can't remember them all.

[I Love Money]

Rodimus and Captain Torgue were also in the running if the post on page 2 is correct. I don't think TheJess was in the running and I certainly hope he isn't.
